Sorry to hear that mate.

Yes some things may lack at times-the quality of life in Australia is still very good, but if you seek greater professional challenges and a broader more realistic view the rest of the world becomes your oyster.
Yeah but good luck being able to return to Australia when you want to. That time will come when personal or family issues make a return to Australia necessary and it just sucks when no one is interested in employing you. It's seems as if they think your overseas achievements are BS.

EY,
Several airlines here are interviewing right now. I very much doubt they wouldn't take your application & experience seriously. I'm sure QF would love to have an experienced S/O on the deck.

Thanks Clearedtoland, I understand the world is a small place and am certainly considering the opportunities that are out there, especially now that worldwide recruitment is white hot. I am surprised at the amount of mainline people not coming back and hearing their stories as to why. I have actually spent most of my career in North and South America and studied overseas as well. I have finally found a place where my lifestyle is excellent but can't get the job to match, common story I'm sure.

I wonder if more people are getting 'no thanks' letters. Would be sort of nice to stop hoping and move on.

Hats off to QF for being one of the only ones that actually acknowledged a job application. Just playing the waiting game now as I haven't heard anything since the Xmas email. Me too would just like to know where I stand in the mix. I thought I was safe after the IQ tests because of not gettting a no thanks email last year, when others did.... but the unfortunate emails that were sent this week has changed my thinking!

EY,
Hang in there mate, the wheels do turn here, albeit slowly.
Good luck with it.

Telfer86 - at the assessment day I attended in November, we were told as a group that should we not be successful this time around, we should reapply in 12 months because they will still be recruiting.

How that would play out for you as an applicant, and what internal processes they are using.. I have no idea.

Best of luck!

A number of people from overseas have start dates coming up with Qantas mate. If you meet their standard in the assessments you get a look in regardless of your background be it in Australia or overseas. Their preference it seems has been to obviously look at their own group applicants if and where they can, but that doesn't mean they've shut out external or overseas applicants whatsoever.

Ask and ye shall receive. Got the thanks but no thanks e-mail this morning. Glad they responded and didn't leave us forever wondering. Best of luck to all of those who progressed, such a good opportunity.

Before you make any decisions to sign up for Truck Masters please check to see if your "we'll not be proceeding your application" email is referencing a seperate "Qantas Group Pilot" application.

(Yes, that was a shameless Top Gun reference.)

It's a distraction from the thread but if you haven't seen this, it's freaking awesome.

I believe that they are now, however the main job that most people following this thread applied to back in October was advertised prior to the "group" jobs position and the two processes will therefore generate separate notifications.

If you applied to both then you SHOULD get notifications for both.

Hello one and all. For those who are still hanging on 😳😳 waiting for yay or nay is there any solid up to date consensus on what the company is after? Just curious. Hearing of lots of talent getting looked over sadly 😞 ME based and did plenty of Aus and Intl GA back in the day.

4th-hand information so take it with a grain of salt. invites for interview based primarily on your IQ test scores.

Preparation. Finding out the style of questions and preparing. You gotta score well... doesn't matter how many bars you have or quality overseas hours you've done if you don't nail the psychometric testing. Simples

I'm trying to collate a bit of data from people who haven't yet heard back from QF or only got a 'nyet' recently. As I've alluded to previously some are trying to improve the service and this is difficult to do without hard numbers.

Could I ask if those who can be bothered could email the following data. I don't need names, just the relevant dates.

Date you applied:
Date you got invitation to complete video and psychometric
The dates you completed the video interview and online assessments
Whether you then applied for the 'group pilot' position
Dates you received updates from Qantas and the content of those updates.
Date you may have received the final 'no' or when you received an invitation to assessment centre if you've only received that notification this year.

Email to keg767 at gmail dot com

All responses in the strictest of confidence and names won't be attached to individual responses if you send from a personal email address. I was going to say 'PM' me but I suspect I'd run out of space pretty quickly.

Logging on to application

Hi all,

I applied for mainline with most of you last year. I did the video and psychometric tests and got the email prior to new year saying they were going on break until the new year. I thought I would check my application status but it says my email address is invalid and to contact the administrator. Can anyone shed any light on this? It looks a different platform to the one we originally applied on. Has this happened to anyone else??

Thanks for your help.

SCOH.

Qantas changed over from Taleo to 'workday' as the platform to manage their personnel (and job applications) a few weeks back. I suspect your issue is related to that.

Suggest you use the direct [email protected] email address and identify the problem with them. You'd hate for the transition between systems to have 'lost' your application along the way!
